ProsGot on sale with free shipping, and for the price I got it for, it is a great router! Having dual band is awesome for splitting up light load works. As well as the USB slots for some spare extra storage. Wireless signal is rather good as well at this price. Has a couple mounting holes for mounting onto a wall to keep out of reach of pets, and other things.Setup was also easy to do!

ConsThe size is rather large. But most of these high end type routers are... Having no issues with it though.

SummaryIf you're looking for an affordable wireless router that will work great, and split work loads between streaming, or simple browsing, this is the router to get for you. Wait for the router to go on sale though, and better yet, have free shipping along with it.

ConsLower than expected speeds, but good for the pricetag. 5GhZ signal strength seems a bit low.

SummaryPurchased to replace and aging WRT54G, the signal isn't as good as the WRT54G's was, but with the N network the overall speeds went up a bit, plus gives access to the 5GhZ network so that a few of my devices can be off of the crowded 2.5GhZ spectrum.

ProsExcellent signal strength. Looks good.Wifi allows you to bridge to another WiFi Network expanding the distance your network covers. It Does it on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Plus it works great as a single WiFi router.

SummaryThis is a very good router for the price. I installed it in less than 10 minutes with the CD given. Dual band speeds are great within the entire house. Firmware update took 5 minutes to find and installation of that was effortless.

Pros- Works like a charm if you can get it to...- OpenWrt compatible.- 2 USB ports that can be used for NAS and print server purposes.

Cons-Does not function properly out of the box.-The original firmware has a serious security hole: http://sekurak.pl/tp-link-httptftp-backdoor/

SummaryThe only way I could get this thing working properly is to put in a custom firmware. To be exact; OpenWrt - Barrier Breaker r35604. I tried all the firmware upgrades from the manufacturer but they are useless. In short, it's not a product a can recommend to a friend unless he/she is a top-notch geek who can do some magic.

P.S.: If you are going to put in a custom firmware do a hard reset (30/30/30) beforehand.

SummaryBought this in conjuction with a TP-Link 450Mbps PCIe card. I'm able to connect to through a wall 30ft with full bars on the 5Ghz band. Throughput is limited only by my NAS connection (wired at 100Mbps) and internet speed test gives me the same results as if I'm plugged directly into the cable modem (45Mbps).

Previously, I hadn't been able to connect at over 25Mbps with an older Asus N router, and the Rogers-supplied modem/router. I think the 5.0Ghz band has less interference as I live in a condo.
